Orthoplex

MagOpti cell

Summary:

Orthoplex MagOpti cell is a potent magnesium supplement that may be beneficial for nervous tension, stress, anxiety and relief of muscular cramps and spasms. MagOpti cell provides a potent array of vitamins, nutrients and minerals per serve, and has shown positive benefits in conditions associated with cardiovascular health, mitochondrial energy production and magnesium deficiency.

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and plays a crucial role in biochemistry, being involved in over 300 metabolic reactions.

Magnesium supplementation to correct magnesium deficiency may therefore alleviate nervous tension, stress, anxiety and depression. Magnesium supplementation has also been found beneficial in the support of epilepsy sufferers.[10]

The B vitamins are required for optimal nervous system functioning. They may complement magnesium supplementation in supporting the nervous system and adrenal glands.

Muscle Cramps & Spasms Magnesium concentrates in the muscles and is required for ATP production and the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles. Magnesium deficiency has been associated with muscle cramps, low bone mineral density, reduced muscle strength, muscle weakness and fatigue.

Oral supplementation of creatine increases muscle supply of free creatine and creatine phosphate, a high-energy phosphagen. Creatine levels have been found to be low in those suffering from fibromyalgia.[12]

Cardiovascular Health Magnesium deficiency may contribute to cardiovascular dysfunction such as hypertension and coronary artery disease. Clinical evidence has suggested that magnesium influences vascular tone and may play an important role in regulating blood pressure by having a direct effect upon the relaxation capability of vascular smooth muscle cells.[13]

As potassium plays an essential role in the membrane potential of cardiac muscle, it may help to regulate the contraction of the cardiac muscle. Low potassium levels may lead to alterations in cardiac rate, rhythm and conduction.[14] A randomised, placebo controlled trial showed that supplementation of potassium in 150 men and women with high blood pressure resulted in a substantial reduction in systolic blood pressure.[15]

Mitochondrial Energy Production Magnesium is required for energy production and ATP exists in many cells as an ATP-Mg complex. Creatine is an endogenous amino acid, which concentrates in the skeletal muscles and improves the condition of muscle fibres.[16]

The creatine kinase system is involved in the rapid transport of high energy phosphates from the mitochondria to sites of maximal energy requirements such as myofibrils and sarcolemmal ion pumps.[17] Creatine may also improve muscle tone and lean muscle mass in weight training individuals.

Malic acid is an intermediate endogenous acid in the Krebs cycle, and is therefore involved in energy production. Supplementation of malic acid has been shown to enhance physical working capacity and stimulate productive bioenergetic processes.

Dosage:

Adults: Take 6.5 g (1 3/4 5 mL metric spoonful) daily in water or as prescribed. Recommended with food.

Precautions:

Should not be taken within two hours of antibiotic medications, as calcium, zinc, magnesium and manganese may reduce absorption of antibiotics. Use magnesium with caution in people with renal failure. High doses of creatine are contraindicated in kidney failure.

Customer questions / expert answers

Q. I would like your option on a another type of Magnesium in tablets. I have and use energy X and it is a wonder drug for me. My father will not take it to try what is the next best in tab form. I feel there is something hereditary and Magnesium would help if i can show it would work.I may need a tablet. my dad is 86 on medications so may also need to check if some meds may cause issues. Regards Wayne

A.

Magnesium is tolerated with most medications. Orthoplex Mag Opti contain 310 mg of Magnesium with 130 mg potassium. Cant be taken with diuretics. Otherwise, Eagle Mag-Oro is another option. To be sure - send me a quick list of your father's current medications.
